Eyre and Worthington-Eyres

I too am interested in the Russell:Campbell discussion.  I have found hints that her father was Alexander Russell (or Alexander Campbell.  I have found the Russell name in Allen Stewart Hartigan's book but not the Campbell surname.

My grandfather Rev William Worthington was convinced he and William Ingram Worthington (who appended the Eyre name) were closely related.  Unfortunately, I haven't found documentation to support this.  He visited with "Uncle Willie" as did his daughter and son.  I have recently visited with the Worthington-Eyre daughters in Aughrim and Kiltormer and I was unsuccessful in finding this missing link.

Perhaps you have found this link in your research?

Regards,

Hello William,  thank you for the message. I was so please to receive a message..  I too have been in contact with some relatives in Aughrim, Kiltomrmer and Ballinasloe.  Ann Hyde from Aughrim and I have been communicating via email the past two months.  I meet her and  husband Michael and boys when they visted Adelaide South Australia in the 1980s, at that time my mum and dad were alive and well - my parents have since passed and I miss them dreadfully.  My mum was a Worthington-Eyre and her father  (my grandfather) was Robert Eyre Worthington-Eyre son of William Ingram Worthington (later added Eyre by Royal Licence in 1902) and Grace Geraldine  Eyre. I may be able to help you with some information. Are you currently on Ancestry.com  as I am  doing my family tree through that site.  Other than that I am happy to give you my private email addrerss in Adelaide and we may be able to share family tree information.  The Russell Campbell surname is something that needs to be sorted otherwise other links will be out. I have a photocopy of the Haritigan book that my mum did for me and my two brothers and I assume Marion Dallas was a Russell, I'm still checking though.

I am sure you and I are related as well and it would be wonderful to find/see the connection. My husband Tom and I are planning a visit to Aughrim sometime  mid to late next year.

I must admit I love the family research it is so interesting and I'm throughly enjoying the contact with family members.

My email address is:     ianst2@bigpond.net.au   I am Angela Mary Eyre Sandery from Adelaide South Australia.  My very best wishes to you and your family, kind regards Angela

PS    William it's now Monday 1 Juy here in Sth Aust and I went back into this email this morning to edit a few spelling errors, nearly cut two fingers off yesterday making soup...  no excuse...  Angela

Hi

My relative Edmund Silke married Letitia Eyre, born in 1823, daughter of Thomas Stratford Eyre and Grace Fawcett Lynar.

I haven’t been able to find any other information on them, or details of children born in Ireland and assume they possibly emigrated.

I’d love to hear from anyone with more details.

My email is: mtcsilke@hotmail.co.uk.

Just stumbled on this. My connection is that my uncle Freeman Dreaper married Charity Worthington-Eyre, I too visited them and Aunt Mamie as a child (from the UK).

Hi Eileen

Thank you for your message.  I would love to find information on Edmund Silke and Letitia Eyre.  I have a record that they married but not a date.  I assume as Letitia was born in 1823, this might have been in the 1840’s.  As I haven’t found any records in Ireland of children, I think this may be because they emigrated.

My dad, Thomas Silke, born in Kiltormer, Ballinasloe in 1933, knew Charity Eyre.

It would be great to hear from you with any missing links.

Maria

Hi Maria

I don't have those dates, but I don't know if you have come across the book 'A history of the family of Eyre of Eyrecourt' by Allen Stewart Hartigan? The book is of course no longer available but I do possess some scans of some pictures in it and have found one titled Marion Letitia Eyre if you haven't seen it and want me to email it to you?
